They only have one exploit to get into the system. The moment they announce it to the world Nintendo will patch it and there will be no more exploit. They are also against piracy and aren't going to release anything if it could allow people to play roms. They aren't your friends or 1337 H4x0rz trying to play roms, they are enthusiasts that want to make their own software for the system.

E: Also if you are curious the last DSi hack they released was patched in a day and the total number of software downloads was under 10,000.

It doesn't matter if they are for or against piracy. The only way to not have piracy will be to not release the exploit otherwise piracy will happen. It simply isn't possible for them to block it since once the exploit is out someone will use it to enable piracy. I understand they don't want their exploit used for piracy but they also know they only have two options 1. Don't release exploit and piracy won't happen or 2. Release exploit so the homebrew scene can pick up and just accept that piracy is unavoidable.
 
just goes to show how popular that was, maybe next time, the hundreds of people reading about it won't be stupid enough to think that Nintendo would let it be. "I'll wait until does something first" -- idiots.

No it doesn't - memory handling is on the 3DS side of things, the cartridge is merely storage. It does not execute any code outside of what the memory controller inside the chip does.

The cartridge is inserted and sends a handshake message to the 3DS, which in turn reads the header information and the memory address to the game proper. After that handshake, if the user chooses to boot the game, the 3DS uses this address to copy a portion of the game into main memory and boots the code. The save file could be anywhere, the 3DS receives an address to it as well. What matters is that you can modify a save, and with this exploit, apparently the system does not check whether it is legitimate or not. The 3DS is entirely capable of reading save files from the SD card, which is how downloadable games store them. The problem with that is that saves on the SD have additional protection that nobody wants to bother with without a hack to analyze it already.

How can a cartridge send a 'handshake' message to a console if it doesn't have an internal processor? Is there some sort of hard-wired, internal circuitry that automatically fires once upon receiving power from the 3DS system proper?

FPGAs aren't often considered "processors" by modern requirements (outside of certain purposeful configs), but they most certainly can respond with preprogrammed patterns depending on the signals they get.

Just because no one will ever look at the compilation thread:

What exactly makes you think it will be released "most likely" this year?
yellows said "no idea" and that's how it is. To be honest "this year" is a very, very optimistic estimation.

Not really. The intent of not allowing pirated 3DS games to be played is to not affect sales (which doesn't happen anyways) and bring more developers to the 3DS instead of deterring them away. Allowing people to play unavailable games on dead consoles isn't going to do anything but discourage a ridiculously small amount of people to buy SMB1 again from the 10th damn time.
